“President Clinton pardoned Marc Rich, who was charged with crimes going back decades, including illegally buying oil from Iran while it held American hostages, selling to the enemies of the United States. He was pardoned after his wife donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Clintons,” Trump said.

He also pointed to Clinton’s pardon of Susan Rosenberg, a member of the militant left-wing Weather Underground, and Obama’s commutation of the sentences of FALN terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera and former soldier Chelsea Manning, who leaked classified data.

Trump said Arpaio, 85, deserved a pardon because his contempt-of-court conviction for failing to stop racially profiling Latinos to determine their immigration status was politically motivated.
